I would probably use a rubber ball as a core. If I get some time I'll try making up a tug toy with end(s) made out of the knot. Rappel rope is tough but not easy to knot up like that. I might need to use a little hammer to make the bends. But, it would last forever.

WOW!!! That actually looks like it might be "Mickey-Proof"... make us one...

I made each end of the finish product about 30 inches long. They can be used as handles for you. The knot would then be in the dog's mouth. The rappel rope is super tough and I used a steel alignment tool to make it very tight. A pit bull could probably work it loose if left alone with it (although it might take all day). We all know how pit bulls are.

I'll put it up under the ready-to-walk section at our site. It will be $20.00 shipped. Shipping included. It used over 10 feet of rope and that adds up quick. However, this should prove extra durable.

I'll make a few more as I get time. I got the knot down pretty well. It wasn't easy.

We call them limited slip collars, because they aren't like standard choke collars. The material allows them to open up quickly after a correction. Choke collars don't seem to open as quickly for us. Limited slip is used to differentiate the two.

They are made out of two types of rope. The nylon double braided ones are eye-spliced around the rings. The others are made from static line that is also spliced around the rings. The core is partially removed from the static line to allow the splicing. It also allows them to lay a bit flatter on the dog's neck distributing the weight better. The strength is still there, though.

I understand what you are saying but "limited slip" implies that there is something on the collar to prevent unlimited slip. Martingale collars are called "limited slip" because they can only tighten a certian amount.

I think the name is somewhat misleading. Perhaps call them "fast release choke collars" or something like that?
